Zusammenfassung:Cyproheptadine (4-(5H-dibenzo[a,d] cyclohepten-5-ylidene)-1-methylpiperidine) for the treatment of non-ulcerative dyspepsia (NUD), more particularly NUD which is characterised by dysfunction of central 5-HT 1A receptors. Dysfunction of the central 5-HT 1A receptors can be diagnosed by an azaspirodecanedione-induced prolactin response which is distinguishable from that observed in a subject with peptic ulcer disease and/or inflammatory bowel disease. A suitable azaspirodecanedione for inducing the prolactin response is buspirone.
